-The Sikorsky SH-3H Seeking is a US Navy anti-submarine helicopter.
-A large twin-engine turbine helicopter that was adopted as a successor to the HSS-1 helicopter that the Navy had used.
-Since the SH-3H Seeking was developed as a carrier-based aircraft, the five main rotor blades have a structure that can be automatically folded, and the tail boom of the tail rotor also has a folding mechanism.
-The SH-3H Seaking's fuselage, which is the main operational airspace over the sea, has a watertight hull-type semi-monocoque structure, which enables good landing performance in combination with an auxiliary float on the side of the fuselage.
-The engine is equipped with two T-58 turboshaft engines in parallel to ensure high output, and it is highly safe in case of engine trouble.
-Anti-submarine equipment is equipped with the latest anti-submarine equipment such as MAD Bird and Sono Buoy.
-Also, when a fighter aircraft is leaving the aircraft carrier, it is used as a rescue aircraft, and also used as a transport aircraft for multipurpose operation.
